Veterans, families and visitors headed to the National Mall to honor military members during the 38th annual #RollingtoRemember, a demonstration ride demanding full accounting for America’s POWs and MIAs and to raise awareness of the mental health crisis stealing thousands of veterans’ lives each year.⁠
⁠
Rolling to Remember is more than just a ride through the nation’s capital. For many, it’s an emotional journey that ends at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where thousands of names etched in black granite serve as a reminder of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.⁠
⁠
"I got drafted at 19, and I was discharged by 21," Peter Mack said. "It was the luck of the cards; either you made it or didn't make it in the infantry, as I was in the 9th Infantry Division."⁠
⁠
Mack said he has come every year for the last 15 years or so — "to come pay my respects for Memorial Day," he said.⁠
